Question OZ or O-Z?

Halfrauds said O,Z not OZ (as in 'AUS') I'd hate to get it wrong

Anyway Motorsport Wheels UK won't sell me centre caps as they say they are wholesalers. Eventually told that Europe is on holiday for August so they don't have any, and to go to Halfrauds at the end of the month.

Anyone got a supplier with stock or experience of removing the dodgy lacquer and relacquering them?

Thanks

It is O·Z

Silvano Oselladore and Pietro Zen formed the company in '71 (the name O·Z, derives from the acronym of their initials).

You'll probably need to buy new ones. They're not that dear. He is right though, I need to order a wheel from Oxigen in Italy but they go on holiday for the whole of August, so I'm f~cked till Sept. If you can wait till then I can order caps for you through my local motorsport wheels and post them to you(although their service is **** poor the prices are better than Halfrauds)

Yes they are Prodrive supert's. I will have to wait but thanks Mr Deviant perhaps I could drop you a line if things are no better come the end of the month?

£3 each quoted by Halfords. Funnily enough there were 5 for £21 on e bay this week.
